When the Little Chen Mothers and Hong Yu were discussing about who their master was, within the Pear Fragrance Garden, the people from the Prime Minister's Residence all gathered around the Old Mistress.
When the time came, the Old Mistress could no longer hold on and let everyone scatter.
"You two should go back and rest as well. You still have to go to the palace to celebrate tomorrow, don't waste time." All those who came to the palace to visit were first wife, so Old Mistress did not need to do so this year. Madame Chang did not have the status of a title, nor did she need it.
In this way, the only people who could enter the palace were the first rank title, Madame Song, and the princess, Chu Qinghuan, who needed to enter the palace for a celebration.
Madame Song nodded, "Yes, it's just that I can't serve Old Mistress, it's my wife's fault. Embroidery, Fuer, wake up early and serve your grandmother together with your aunt, do you understand? "
Chu Jinxiu smiled sweetly and promised, "Don't worry, Mother."
Seeing that Madame Song still knew the gist of the situation, she nodded and looked towards Chu Qinghuan: "Second girl, are your arms better now?"
Speaking of Chu Qinghuan's broken bones, Chu Jinxiu couldn't help but to clench her teeth. She was clearly injured at the beginning, but in the end, she pushed it onto Huangfu Wushuang, and even gave him a bunch of rewards from Emperor Xuanwu and Empress Liu.
This was clearly the crime of deceiving the monarch! But if it was really exposed, then the entire Prime Minister's Palace would be done for. Chu Jinxiu could only grit his teeth and swallow it down, but she hated Chu Qinghuan more and more in her heart.
She was always so lucky!
Chu Qinghuan laughed, "It is Qing Huan's fault for worrying Old Mistress. "It's much better now. As long as we don't mention anything important in the next few days, we'll be able to recover in just three to five days."
"That's good. Tomorrow you will enter the palace for a celebration, and when you go back, you will be with the Grand Princess. She has sent someone here to explain that he will be celebrating with you today, so you don't need to be afraid."
Hearing that, Chu Qinghuan could not help but be surprised, if the Grand Princess wanted to protect him, she could have directly asked Bi Tao to send a message, but why did she have to say it this time to the Old Mistress instead?
However, when she saw the anger that flashed past Madame Song's face, she understood once more. "Yes, Qinghuan understands." So it turns out that Grand Princess wanted to make use of Old Mistress's words to tell everyone: "She, Chu Qinghuan, is a person under Grand Princess's protection.
Stepping out of the Pear Fragrance Garden, snow flew in the air and drenched her face. Following the cold snow water, a stream of warmth flowed out of the corner of her eyes. "It's snowing again. What do you think, Second Elder Sister? "
Chu Qinghuan turned her head, seeing that Chu Jinfu was dressed like a fisherman, he could not help but laugh: "You've already said all the good things, what else do you want me to say?"
Chu Jinfu wiped away the tears on Chu Qinghuan's face and laughed: "Didn't I say this because I, Snowflake, favors your face in Second Elder Sister? Looking at the snow water, Second Elder Sister's makeup had all gone bad. "
The warm tears instantly turned cold. Seeing that Chu Jinfu did not doubt them, Chu Qinghuan laughed, bade farewell to everyone and left.
"Mother, I heard that Second Elder Sister was very generous when it came to rewarding the people in the courtyard. Moreover, it was said that there are two first-rate maidservants in the Zilan Courtyard right now. If she were to continue comparing herself to that, aren't you afraid that aunty would be dissatisfied? "
The brothers Chu Wenchen and Chu Wenlian escorted Madame Chang and Chu Yunxi back. Hearing Chu Yunxi's words, Chu Wenchen couldn't help but frown, but Chu Wenlian immediately retorted, "Second Elder Sister is a princess, why would two first-rate maidservants go overboard? "Sister Four, you always care about these things. No wonder you're getting less and less beautiful."
Being called unattractive by his own brother, Chu Yunxi was immediately infuriated. She pinched Chu Wenlian's ears: "You little brat, you actually dare to talk to me like that, I'll go complain to Second Elder Sister later!" She finally understood that this brother of hers was not afraid of her parents, her brothers, nor was she afraid of her sister. What she was most afraid of was the Second Elder Sister.
It was really one thing after another. However, there was really nothing he could do about it.
"Second Elder Sister wouldn't believe it."
Seeing that the siblings were having a good time, and not just that, the Madame Chang was no longer worried. She did not expect that the last time they had a big fight, they had caused Xiao Wu to think about it.
"Mother said it's strange. Why is Fourth Brother brought back this year? However, he did not say a word, which is different from the past two years. "
Chu Yunxi frowned. The Chu Wenzhen in her memories had always been a bad boy, and a useless one at that.
Madame Chang also frowned when she heard this, "That's right, I said that Jane'er was the nemesis of her parents, so I gave her away since young. Concubine Liu cried a lot because of this, but she came back this year, and I don't know how long she'll be able to stay in the palace for."
Concubine Liu had two sons and two daughters, but their son was sent out of the palace since childhood, and their daughter was a wooden person. Now that she was pregnant with this child, there were endless conflicts, but they didn't know if it was a blessing or a disaster.
Chu Wenchen had always been silent. Hearing his mother's words, an idea formed in his mind, but when he saw the big red lantern hanging in front of the gate of the Dawn Garden, he laughed, "Mother and Fourth Sister should rest early. Xiao Wu and I will come again tomorrow to fetch mother to pay respects to Old Mistress."
Chu Wenlian corrected: "Third Brother, it's today."
It was already the first day of the new year.
Chu Wenchen looked at his younger brother who seemed to be a scholar, and laughed, "You clever kid, today is the day."
When the Madame Chang and Chu Yunxi returned to the courtyard, Chu Jinxiu was also accompanying the Madame Song back slowly.
"I never thought that Wenjin would return with great difficulty, and not even one year. It has already been four years."
From the time Wenjin joined the army until this year, it had been four years since her beloved child celebrated at home.
Suddenly hearing his mother mention his brother, Chu Jinxiu couldn't help but cry, "Mother, brother will be back very soon!" She only glanced at Hong Lian beside him, who remained silent.
Madame Song knew the reason behind her daughter's silence. She glanced at Hong Lian, but her heart was unable to stop herself from feeling furious. This brothel girl actually had Wenjin's bones and blood in her stomach. What if something happened to Wenjin?
"You go first … "What's wrong?"
Seeing Hong Lian's strange expression, the Madame Song said impatiently.
However, Hong Lian smiled apologetically: "It's nothing, I probably ate too much. Madam, this servant will be going back first." Hong Lian was leaving in a rush, so the Madame Song did not have the time to pay attention to her. However, the servant girl following behind Hong Lian suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Aunt, you, you saw Red?"
"Shut up!" How could she have expected that her month's incident would come at this time? She was truly unlucky.
"If Madam finds out, I'll let you have it." Hong Lian threatened fiercely, and only let go when she saw the little maid nod her head.
However, Chu Jinxiu was shocked by Hong Lian's actions, "Mother, this woman is too weird, and it was Ji Fengye who gave it to you."
Madame Song did not mind, did she know about a brothel girl every day? The corners of her eyes were slightly red and swollen. Madame Song immediately said: "Look at what I said, quickly don't cry, it will be bad if your father finds out. Mother knows that you have been wronged. Rest assured, I will definitely get you a title of princess! "
Hearing that, Chu Jinxiu's heart was happy, but she immediately became worried, "Mother, you don't have to worry about the embroidery, it doesn't matter."
Madame Song felt more and more wronged because of her daughter, and she was determined to give her a pleasant surprise.
The words of the Madame Song reached Chu Qinghuan's ears very quickly. Looking at the spirited look in the copper mirror, Chu Qinghuan laughed, "Forget it, I'll just let them mess around with it.
The hot towel was applied to Chu Qinghuan's face, causing him to be somewhat puzzled: "Miss, if Madam is not completely confident, why would you say this? It's better for you to be on your guard. "
The warm feeling of touch caused the tiredness to recede a bit, but it was still tiredness in the end. Chu Qinghuan laughed: "It's alright, I have my limits, but you have to be careful when you turn around, the storm will probably come soon."
Qing Tan seemed to understand, but she still nodded her head obediently: "Then young miss should rest early."
After lying down on the bed, Chu Qinghuan stretched lazily. She couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the ceiling in front of the bed. "Why are you here?"
Ji Fengye however landed by her side, "It's the new year, isn't it our fault for letting you stay in the empty room alone?"
Sensing that his hands had become even colder, Chu Qinghuan couldn't help but ask in astonishment, "Prince has been here for a long time?"
The thrush made a bed for himself, but did not realize, this person is a god, can he be invisible?
"Not too long ago. I was going to stay with you and keep watch, but it's a pity that Chu Xiang is an old stubborn old man and likes to do superficial work."
Keeping watch?
Chu Qinghuan's face slightly changed, wouldn't that mean that she had spent at least two hours? No wonder she felt that Ji Fengye seemed to have stiffened.
"So the Prince intends to kill him in one go?"
Seeing Chu Qinghuan's faint smile, Ji Fengye slouched down on the side as he continued, "Girl, what advice do you have for us? Back then, the matter of the Hu Prefecture had been around for a long time, if we were to bring it up again, it would be hard to say if anyone had any ulterior motives. This is as the sun and moon can see. Being splashed with dirty water by these villains is not worth it. "
The incident in Huzhou was indeed a long time ago. After all, the thrush was just a newborn at that time. The memories regarding the incident in Huzhou was just a sigh from his parents.
"What happened in Huzhou was just a seasoning, how can it be used to make a big meal? If such a small matter can bring Chu Siyuan down, then what about your majesty? "
Ji Fengye seemed to be interested, and laughed: "Little girl, what good idea do you have?"
The discussion between the two seemed to be an extremely simple one, and the person involved was also not Chu Qinghuan's biological father, "It's naturally a heinous crime.
Although it was Ji Fengye, upon hearing this, his eyebrows couldn't help but flicker, and after being stunned for a moment he laughed: "As expected of Chu Siyuan's daughter, you are truly ruthless, it really suits your intentions."
Chu Qinghuan smiled, "It's just that this conspiracy is a big crime, Qing Huan is afraid that she might not be able to escape."
The corners of Ji Fengye's eyes carried a hint of a smile: "The crime of conspiring against the nine great clans is something that connected the nine great clans, but girl, could it be that you have forgotten, that you are now a member of the imperial family, that he has gone senile and muddleheaded, that he doesn't even care about himself and his descendants' lives?"
A family of nine?
Chu Qinghuan was startled for a moment, and then said: "Prince, Hong Lian has never been pregnant, in eight months, how does Prince plan to have her have a child?"
Ji Fengye wasn't surprised in the slightest, nor did he answer her. What answered her was the long and long breath that fell into her neck, carrying a little warmth that made her feel a little itchy.
"I would like to know, if you are pregnant at this moment, what will happen ten months from now?"
Chu Qinghuan frowned, she did not feel the slightest bit of bashfulness from the woman, but asked: "Prince, Qing Huan is serious."
Ji Fengye laughed in all seriousness, "What we do is also proper business."
I'm not talking about that kind of business! Chu Qinghuan's sorrowful heart was almost on the verge of going berserk, but in the end, she still allowed Ji Fengye to take what he wanted.
"Little girl, I am doing this for your own good. Otherwise, how could you have the spirit to come to the palace and celebrate?"
Wrong logic, wrong logic!
"This Governor remembers that the previous few times, this Governor... "Mmm, you seem to be quite spirited the next day. Little girl, you are truly different from ordinary people. This Regional Commander is liking you more and more, what should we do?"
Chu Qinghuan looked up, allowing him to do whatever she wanted, but deep down she was muttering to herself: I don't like you more and more, what do I do?
